Stop dieting! It's time to enjoy life, be healthy and have fun. I can show you how.

Broccoli Patties

My friend Sue asked me to take the original recipe which included whole eggs and parmesan and cheddar cheese and make a lighter version. I omitted the parmesan, used reduced fat cheddar cheese, egg whites and whole wheat panko. It’s not a huge difference from the original recipe, but it’s enough to cut several calories from fat off the top. You could probably even put little bits of Canadian bacon in there if you want. Enjoy!

Heat 1 tbs. of oil in a small pan over medium heat, add in the garlic and onions. Season with salt/pepper to taste. Sauté until onions and garlic are tender, set aside to cool.

Add the broccoli to a kitchen towel. Wrap the towel around the broccoli and squeeze out the extra moisture. Pour the drained broccoli into a large bowl. To the same bowl, add the panko, the cheese, egg whites, garlic and onion and salt/pepper to taste.

Awww, thanks Adrienne. I want to try to freeze some to see how they come out. Spiro and our friends really liked them, so if they freeze well, they’d be a nice, healthy, quick app to serve people. You could do this on a larger version for you and your mom. Hope you’re both doing well. Glad I’m back too. I really miss you all so much. Cooked some more today (what else is new? LOL) gonna watch a movie now. I hope all is good – thanks, as always for stopping by. Love ya, LisaLisa Magoulas recently posted…Broccoli Patties

Hi Judy,
Ya, they were a hit. I want to try freezing a batch to see how they come out. It’d be nice to have something ready to pop in the oven for guests or a quick snack. Let me know if you try them.Lisa Magoulas recently posted…Broccoli Patties
